prerequisites

Hi everyone! I am currently calling schools to obtain school specific information but 1. did anyone encounter pre-requisite "expiration dates"? Ex. courses must be completed 10 years from matriculation to medical school. I took my pre-reqs in 2009-2013 and I am applying in 2017. [My...

Hello! I'm new to the boards but have already learned so much from going through all these posts. What a great resource! I found a lot of good advice, but nothing for what I was specifically looking for. Here's my (abridged) story (PS, yes, I know my name makes no sense for a DVM hopeful, I...

Hi Everyone, I am curious about the English prerequisite credits for the dental schools that I will be applying to. Has any intensive writing courses counted towards English prerequisites for the schools you have applied/are applying to? I know about some of the schools, but I want to ensure...

Hey everyone, I'm at the beginning of my junior year, attending a state university online. I'll graduate in the summer of 2017 with my B.S in Psychology. Right now, I'm torn between attending med school or getting my degree in Certified Nurse Midwifery, so I'm taking a wide range of pre-reqs...

Hello, I recently decided that DVM was the right choice for me as opposed to MD. I see that a lot of the schools require statistics, nutrition, and public speaking. I took several english courses which we had to speak in class, I have presented at a conference and won an award for my...

I'm a biology education major with a minor in physical science education. Here are what I perceive as being pros: 1. I'll learn to work with kids and get experience working with kids. I'm pretty sure I want to be a pediatrician. 2. I'll have a clear career path if I decide not to go into...

Hi, I've been a pre-med, since I've been in college, but have seriously considered veterinary medicine as I'm basically generally interested in medical philosophy and surgery of all sorts and have always been fascinated by animals and their quirks and functions. What I want to know is if it's...

Hey guys! I've read somewhere that prerequisites for UNLV will have to be completed by matriculation. I stumbled upon their website today and noticed it says that prerequisites would need to be completed by June of the year the application decides to enroll. Would completion before...

I'm a psych major and my program requires a couple abnormal psych courses, which I've taken a bunch of. Which class will they use to fulfill the prereq? Will they take the latest class, the highest grade, one big average of all?

So here is the dilemma, I took biology but I withdrew out of it. So I took it again last semester but I took it online and I realized that all the medical schools that I am interested in getting accepted to do not accept online prerequisites. I did not check the requirements before taking the...

Hello there, I am hoping to drink from the knowledge well of this website and ask about Med Schools who seriously consider applicants without the traditional pre-requisites. I am a BSN educated Nurse of 1.5 years with a little research experience, tons of volunteer work, and a GPA of ~3.69...

Hey guys, I tried looking through the forums for a post with my situation but couldn't quite find anything of use. So, here we go! I'm a 26 y/o and about 3 years removed from my bachelor's degree that didn't involve any of the science prereqs. I'm changing careers from teaching to medicine and...

Hi All! I am an African American female, currently in an Public Health/Social Work dual masters degree program at an ivy league university. I have completed 1 out of the 2 years in the program, and have finally decided I want to put in the extra time and apply to medical school. However I'm not...

So I have a kind of unique situation. I'm planning on applying for PT school in the summer/fall of this year. I currently have a 3.54 overall GPA with a Psychology major and a Chemistry minor, my GPA would be MUCH better if I hadn't done the chemistry minor but I began as pre-med so I needed the...

Hi there, I was wondering if having all (or almost all) of your prerequisites completed give you a better chance of getting accepted? How important is that when applying? Does it increase chances versus having them in progress instead? I'm still finishing my degree & deciding whether to...

Hello Student Doctors, I am currently a master's student in occupational therapy and I am beginning to have second thoughts about this as a career. I am quickly losing interest in the field (I understand everyone has some level of burnout, but I have felt this way for about a year or...
